Dewey's Read-A-Thon

My first ever read-a-thon! I'm super excited. As of right now there are 66 readers signed up, and seven cheerleaders. I am sort of going to be doing both. I'll be reading for the most part, but I have a five-hour shift kind of right in the middle, so I'll be cheerleading during that time. I'm even hosting a mini-challenge, although I haven't heard back from the organizers on that yet. So we'll see how it all goes.The Read-A-Thon begins at 5am pacific on April 18th. I haven't yet decided how I'll be doing updates, but I may do hourly. Or I might do an update every time I need to take a break, which will not necessarily be hourly. But I guess we'll find out! Check the blog for updates!

my book reviews

Update!! I am now blogging at my new website Work From Home Star! I have two blogs there - one for book reviews, and one about being at work-at-home mom. Check them out!!This blog is an effort to keep track of all the reading I do, and it gives me a place to practice reviewing books. I read a few books a week, usually, so it is difficult to look back and remember books sometimes. And I hope that my reviews may be helpful to anyone else who reads them. I would also love to discuss books through my posts. So if you have a comment, please leave it and we can discuss!!My favorite thing to read is fantasy, so there tends to be a lot of that on here, but I do read quite a bit of general fiction and non-fiction as well. I also enjoy reading teen and children's fiction.I have officially announced the reason I have had difficulty posting recently - I am pregnant!! So I will not be focusing on challenges, and I am behind on my reviews. But I still will try to post, and I may get caught up one day.
